As part of the day-to-day motions of life, we often try to reflect on the blessings presented before us, whether it is family and friends that are in good health, job stability or certain forms of economic revival. The month of November is no different and the rapidly approaching holiday seasons tend to add an even greater emphasis on these ideas of gratitude and giving thanks; although, I know this year has presented some rather unexpected challenges for us all. As we work together to surmount the obstacles brought forth by the pandemic, I encourage you to redirect your attention on the issues and people that matter the most. In recognition of that and Veteran’s Day this month, I would like to spend the time here honoring the valiant individuals who allow us to continue living the life we lead: our active and retired servicemen and women.
